This example shows the ability of the

# using an additive kernel adding a
# :class:`~sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.RBF` and
# :class:`~sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.WhiteKernel` kernels.
# The :class:`~sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.WhiteKernel` is a kernel that
# will able to estimate the amount of noise present in the data while the
# :class:`~sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.RBF` will serve at fitting the
# non-linearity between the data and the target.
#
# However, we will show that the hyperparameter space contains several local
# minima. It will highlights the importance of initial hyperparameter values.
#
# We will create a model using a kernel with a high noise level and a large
# length scale, which will explain all variations in the data by noise.
